Personal Statement
- Integration
of disciplines -- engineering, physics, geology, and computer
techniques -- provides the scientist or engineer with the techniques
appropriate to solving a wide range of problems in determining
the behavior of rocks in the subsurface. Our SPOT lab is equipped
with the tools necessary to perform virtually any analysis on
subsurface data that the investigator can imagine.
